I've seen that recipe recently on the Food Channel and it does look delicious. I can't get fresh brussel sprouts here so I'm wondering if frozen would work. (if I can even get the frozen one's here)

I'm having a mind black-out because I can't for the life of me remember how to make hard boiled eggs. I'm going to hard boil them today where I can make deviled eggs tomorrow.

(And yes, to all my FR FRiends, I do know how to boil water, just can't remember how long to let them boil.)

You know, I've thought about trying it with the frozen ones also, just never have. I would probably roast them for half the time, as the frozen sprouts ARE precooked. Probably would tastes great, as you wouldn't be boiling all the flavor out of them.

As to boiled eggs, my mom, the nice lady who always boiled her veggies to death, also boiled her eggs forever also. She left them at a full boil for 20-25 minutes. For me, they are ALWAYS completely done after a good 10 to 12 minutes bubbling away at a proper boil. Maybe even before that, I just never have checked.

Have a great turkey day,

You will need to boil them for at least ten minutes longer if you like the yoke to be ready hard and powdery.

Don't forget to put salt into the water if the shells crack it will stop too much seepage.

Once cooked put under cold tap to cool. Shell when semi warm much easier leave to cool before cutting in half, slicing or chopping.

To keep them from turning green, I've heard to put them in cold water, just bring to a boil, then let them sit 15 min or so. Also to peel them, I had never done this until I think I saw it on the Food Network - after stopping the cooking in cold water, you can shake them around in the dry pan to get peeling more easily. Don't get too vigorous, LOL.

This applies more to egg salad, but for some reason I had never thought of crumbling eggs (you could do it with yolks for deviled eggs) with my hands rather than chopping them up. It is a real time saver and works just fine.
